Qwertyuiop by Oculex
qwertyuiop
For my music practicum, I wrote & produced a full length album under the name, "Oculex". In addition, I went through the process of uploading the music through online distributors like Spotify and iTunes via a service called CDBaby. The music is all electronic dance music. The music is mostly all themed around samples or vocoded lyrics. Incorporating lyrics into a track is always difficult, but vocals, especially in combination with humor, can help differentiate music from others'. Cape Town is a comedic song using samples about Toby from the Office. Dreams includes a sample from a popular viral video, "Have you ever had a dream like this?". The title of the album, "qwertyuiop", further reflects the memetic content of the album; satirical in nature, "qwertyuiop" will be the first album on Spotify with the title, and may thus attract listeners who are curious enough to type in the pattern of letters.
